Hello,

I read that you'll need to download Mental Ray 1.5.1 for Maya 4.5 unlimited. Is it true that Mental Ray in not already in the 4.5 pakache? but only in the 5.0

AliasWavefront redisigned their website so the link to download Mental Ray was giving an error page.
I searched the whole site but could't find where to download Mental Ray.

Can someone give me some advice?

Thanks!!!

I can download it... Can I tell something else? user added image

Uhh, yeah...

Got another probnlem, with the installation. He just creates a new folder somewhere else, not in the Maya 4.5 directory. So, I changed that, but it is not included in Maya... user added image

Maybe it´s cause IRe-installed Win XP, but did not Re-install Maya?

Add me please

Are you serious? No one using PLE5 can render at all?!? How the heck are you meant to learn if you can't render?
